HOW OFTEN SHOULD I WATER TREES?

In Creation, we are designed to pay attention to signals given off by the created. That's why so many of us admit our souls are filled by hunting, fishing, farming, gardening, etc.

Ideally, trees get rain every few days. The new growth that popped in spring gives off the best signals of drought because it really needs the water and nutrients.

Remember though, adding water is more time consuming and labor intensive than helping plants and soil conserve water. Consider mulch and grass removal to reduce water loss.

If you have to irrigate, drip irrigation plumbed off an elevated tank is the best solution I've seen. If you're handy, add a small roof with gutters and downspouts that can fill the tank when it does rain.

BARE ROOT TREES NOT LOVIN THIS!

Many parts of the upper Midwest have only had a few rains this spring, and it's been quite some time now. This is the time of year where containerized trees really stand out.

Dirt on the roots at planting helps hold moisture where it's needed for longer periods. Hopefully we get some pop-up storms for those of you that have hundreds or even thousands of baby trees trying to hang on for 14 hours of summer sun and wind with no rain in sight, cuz it's like Mexico out there right now!

For me, I'll be watering containerized trees in the yard here until we get a forecast more conducive to tree survival. If that stretches into late summer or fall, so be it. It's worth the wait so I don't have to go do the work and incur the cost of trees again.

DO DEER SEE BLACK FLASH???

There are two cameras here that are active. One of them I have at the base of a blind that is 20 yards from the hangman scrape where these deer are at. The other is on the post where the deer are at.

The Cuddelink camera is just set to send pictures. The Reveal camera is set to take a picture and then a 10 second video. That's the light you are seeing on the deer in the first couple of Cudde pics.

Can deer see that light as well? I have no idea.
